British Right-Wing Pundits

Some ppl don't want a struggle session with Hegel and this is ok.

This baby Michael Gove has been dying to be selected as a Tory candidate. He has a few delusions.

Had I ended up with a BA instead of a BSc, @FraserNelson wouldn't have taken a punt on me as a tech-proficient budding writer. Nor would I have had a half decent grasp of data. Nor would I think of clear writing through the lens of good coding syntax.https://t.co/smkbrBjqg9

and yet he still hasn't cracked the formula for getting a parliamentary candidacy

I can think of some reasons why a right wing ideologue would hate Michael Rosen as much as much as RR does. Like for example he's a very nice guy who doesn't like fascists and he turned down an mbe and was a vociferous Corbyn supporter. But turning him into an evil anti-Semite feels like an arduous task that involves much self-deception and heavy duty lying and slander. I think what annoys RR the most is that he's very popular, even amongst some conservatives. Because he's witty and charming and kids love him.

What is your definition of a kapo, o anonymous tweeter? (Just to help me locate myself in your worldview.)

he's got a good batting average against this kind of shite

... and he's Jewish.

that's just a minor detail these days in the right-wing anti-Semitism smear game. Someone who is Jewish and grew up with an awareness of missing holocaust relatives and is avowedly anti-fascist can also be an an anti-Semite.

in Germany being Jewish means you understand antisemitism less than the German gentile perpetrators who have so nobly fallen on their sword for your benefit, and you'd better be grateful to them and defer to their definitions if you want to keep your job and social standing

(Germany is very much the vanguard of this sort of "philosemitic" antisemitism, much like Britain is the vanguard of terf ideology - it's hard to overstate how bad it is - way too many English speakers take their "remembrance" culture at face value without knowing how it's weaponised in practice)

I wouldn't expect any less from Germany

they took in 10000 kindertransport kids and then UK politicians decades later could chat shit about the proud history of offering sanctuary etc .. whilst black people were getting stripped of nationality and deported to dangerous countries where they would likely die. And Jewish ppl casually getting called kapos and anti semites (sometimes by goys) because they have criticisms about how the repellent UK 2 party system's drift to fascism is getting as bad as the US.

yeah the Anti-Deutsch movement are a left wing pro-Isreal group that has a lot of sway in Germany, heard tales of bands turning up to play squats with huge Israel flags on the walls and Scottish bands being blacklisted for being "nationalists"

that's funny because the antideutsche are more rabidly pro US nationalism than the republican party - they quite literally take the nazi line on "who controls america" and add "and it's a good thing too" while calling anyone who dissents from this (incl/esp jews) nazi islamist terrorist lovers

they're fringe but in many ways just represent a more extreme version of german liberal common sense - I agree with them about the need to abolish germany because just look at this shit. moishe postone didn't die for this

all nation states are the enemy of humanity

true story

oh right this is about british right wing pundits. they're all bad imo

I believe Etonians should provide a useful service to society by shaping public opinion, not by following it slavishly.

Honestly the Telegraph is like a whole other world.

If all right wing institutions (Eton, the conservative party, the Telegraph) end up abolishing each other due to perceived wokeness I'll count that as a win.

I'm not clicking on that but loooooool at woke eton

This is just so fucking glorious. Every second brings me unbridled joy.

This channel has been on air for over 2 years. There is no excuse for being this abysmal anymore, not one.

The terror man...

Chip Chapman was my least favourite strip in The Victor

The manager didn't see why a bunch of southerners who he presumed to be Tory scum should watch the golf. One of my companions had earned his spurs as a business reporter. He called the chief executive of the whole company and asked him to tell the manager to switch one TV over

he was right to presume they were Tory scum

new politico europe pod definitely worth listening to. Ben Judah describes crossing the alps with Syrian refugees and, when tasked with carrying an abandoned child, being reminded of Hegel—except this time the world spirit wasn’t Napoleon, but the child he was holding

If you want to understand what's going on in British media, you could do worse than GMB running heavily with a story about Meghan Markle being appointed to Diane Feinstein's seat, a seat that was filled two hours before GMB started airing. https://t.co/xbUma05ItY

quite literally arrested and thrown in jail merely for... insighting criminal damage???

do you think this means that the Spectator will finally stop publishing his column? It's barely coherent these days anyway (not that it was ever good, but)

there's a whole new generation of self-styled crypto-nazi gadflies they can replace him with now, anyway

There is a crisis in British politics, please resurrect my career.

This is big story of Labour conference: the sell-out to dubious businesses. The lobbyists; fringe meeting sponsors paying to make speeches; cash for access. And sod the unions. If only I still had a mic, a great cameraman, & an outlet. Please do it someone in TV or radio. https://t.co/AyEM2OfX0W

this it what corporate ghoul politicians predictably do, the time to have been shocked or alarmed was when they were taking over the Labour Party.

i'm still not really clear on when the Viz Top Tips fanboy decided he had important thoughts about politics tbh

for years now he has always been condescending at best and mostly dismissive towards people who post about how wretched and corrupt the Labour leadership and various frontbench MPs are. And now he wants to be given a paid platform to carry on being slow on the uptake and a clueless cunt!

The shocking moment Douglas Murray's interview with Piers Morgan is interrupted by overhead fire at the Gaza border.

Piers: "Are you ok?"

Douglas: "It seemed to be coming from Gaza. Yeah it's fine, it's okay, it's been happening all day."@piersmorgan | @DouglasKMurray pic.twitter.com/rYoIk23rky

Why is Douglas Murray at the Israel-Gaza border? Other than the obvious reason of being as near as he can get to thousands of Muslims being killed?

Gaza, y’all only have to be lucky once.

Sarah Vine dines at the Garrick club

Son and dear ex, not having travelled quite so far, are already ensconced in green leather button-backs. As we cross the threshold in there’s an alarming shout: ‘It’s that Sarah Vine!’ I turn to see Kwasi Kwarteng, sitting with his lovely wife Harriet and a third party who turns out to be their vicar, positively overflowing with festive cheer. That’s the joy of somewhere like the Garrick: you never know who you’re going to bump into. On that occasion, not just the former chancellor and his spirited spiritual guide but also, and in no particular order, Sting (yes, Sting), the heavenly Lord Howard of Rising, and the ‘baby doctor’ himself, Lord [Robert] Winston.

you go girl etc.

oh my god

Baroness Davidson of Lundin Links, I'd hoped we'd seen the last of her.

I could never work out wtf Rigby's accent is supposed to be. There was some bs in The Mail about the "speech snoberry" of ppl taking the piss out of her accent. She grew up in Buckinghamshire and attended a posh girls' grammar school - so perhaps snoberry is way off the mark.

lots of agreeing to agree going on here

It's because she leaves the g off words ending in -ing, like Priti Patel. It is very noticeable, perhaps because she otherwise doesn't have an especially strong accent.

Cannot think of another human, living or dead, who I despise more than Matthew Parris.

glad to hear from noted psychologist Matthew Parris

He's always been scum.

he has always been scum

the article is bullshit of course even on his own terms but journalism means never having to understand what you're writing about

Cunt.
